Chapter 6:

I stretched my arms and legs as I began waking up. I was a little startled when I felt a tightening around my waist, but then grinned when I remembered Alcide was with me. I turned so I could look at him. I still hadn't figured how I go so lucky to have found him. I leaned up and kissed him softly before turning to get up. Mother Nature was screaming at me. I was almost out of the bed when I was pulled back against Alcide's body.

"Where do you think you're going?" Alcide grumbled in my ear.

I couldn't help but giggle… it tickled! "I've got to get up before I flood the bed, baby."

He grumbled some more but let me go. I hurried to the bathroom and took care of things. When I went back in my room, the sight I saw nearly took my breath away. Alcide was leaning against my headboard, shirtless, and giving me a big grin. All I could think was 'He's all mine'.

I crawled back under the covers he was holding up for me and snuggled close against him. He put his arms around me and kissed my head. We just lay in each other's arms for a few minutes. Then I started wondering…

"What time is it?"

He looked around till he found my alarm clock. "Almost six."

"Wow! We must've been worn out… we missed lunch."

"I didn't miss it." Awww… my sweet, corny boyfriend…

I looked up to pick on him about being so corny, but as soon as our eyes met, so did our lips. I've always enjoyed kissing Alcide, but something was different this time. I couldn't stop the moan as I felt his tongue slide into my mouth and begin rubbing against mine. I tightened my arms around his neck as he rolled on top of me, resting his jean clad body between my legs. When we had to break for oxygen, he just moved to my neck… nibbling, kissing, sucking… driving me insane with want. He began grinding his erection against me and I was done for.

"Fuck… I want you, Sookie." He growled.

I was grinding back against him by this point. "Oh god… yes… want you so bad."

He pulled back and looked me in the eyes. "Are you sure, Sookie? Really sure? We can wai…" I shushed him with a soft kiss.

"I'm positive, Alcide. I love you. I want you to… make love to me." I blushed but forced myself to not turn away.

He smiled as he kissed me. "I love you too, Sookie." Then he began kissing my neck again. I ran my hands up and down his back, then on down to his fine ass. We were grinding against each other but I wanted more. I pulled him hard against me as he slid his tongue in my mouth. I moaned into his kiss as I felt something begin to coil inside me… I was about to come already.

He had moved back to my neck, where he bit gently, then began sucking hard as his hand slipped under my shirt and up to my breast. I arched into his hand as he rolled my hardened nipple between his fingers. He pulled my shirt up and growled when he revealed my breasts. "Beautiful…" He took one nipple in his mouth as he continued kneading the other breast, driving me crazy. I ran my hands around to the button on his jeans and began working on getting it open.

"SOOK!"

"Fuck!" I whisper-screamed as Alcide growled… angrily this time.

"SOOK!" My cock-blocking brother was at the base of the stairs now.

"Be there in a minute, Jason!" I think I growled a little that time. I looked over to Alcide to apologize. "I'm so sorry about this, baby. But he won't leave till he does whatever he's here to do." I was actually pouting.

He sighed and nodded. "Then let's get this over with… I'm nowhere near done with you yet." I felt a new wave of moisture soak my panties. Jason was going to be lucky if he survived this.

I made my way down the stairs to find my idiot brother. I'd thrown on a pair of pajama pants and tank top. Alcide said he'd be down in a minute. I found Jason with his ass sticking out of the fridge… figures. "What are you doing here, Jason?" I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned against the counter.

"Oh, hey Sook. What took you so long? He stood up and looked at me. "Boy, you look kinda messed up…" His eyes landed on my neck and narrowed. "Awww, come on, Sook! Gross!"

"What's 'gross', Jason?" I guessed Alcide had marked me with all the attention he'd been giving my neck earlier. Served Jason right for interrupting. I giggled when I saw Jason's eyes grow wide.

"Evening, Jason." Alcide walked right over to me and wrapped his arms around me as he slid in behind me. He'd left his shirt off.

"How am I supposed to concentrate now?" I whispered to him.

"Call it motivation." He whispered in my ear before kissing it. My attention was diverted back to Jason with a surprising comment.

"I thought y'all had split up. I came by to check on Sookie."

"What gave you the idea we'd split up, Jason?" I asked as I snuggled closer to Alcide.

"That's what Sam told me." he shrugged.

I was confused, but Alcide let out a low growl. "What did he say?" he asked Jason.

Jason had gotten himself a glass of tea and turned one of the chairs around to straddle as he answered. "I asked him where Sook was cause I thought she was working. He had this big cheesy grin on his face, which is just weird for Sam. He said she'd traded shifts but he'd heard y'all had split up. I got up to come check on her." He paused to drink some tea. "But I did hear him mutter to himself 'He'll never tell her.'" He glared at Alcide. "You hidin something from my sister?"

"Jason, stop that. I don't know what made Sam think we'd split up, but we most definitely haven't." I leaned back and kissed Alcide quickly. "In fact, Alcide is officially my boyfriend now." I giggled a little.

Alcide grinned and kissed my forehead, but I could tell there was something on his mind.

"What is he hidin though, Sook? Sam doesn't seem to think it's something he'll be honest with you about." Jason pressed.

"Jason Stackhouse! Since when do I let what Sam Merlotte thinks dictate my life? What goes on between me and Alcide is between us. I will tell you I trust him completely. He has been totally honest with me… just as I have been with him…" I gave Jason a long look.

He looked back at me for a moment before he got it. "You told him… everything?" I nodded. He looked at Alcide. "And you're still here… we've never told… outside family… except…" He was having trouble with this.

"I love her, Jason. I won't rat her out or anything. I'll protect her with all I am." He squeezed his arms a little tighter around me.

Jason looked from him to me with his eyebrows raised in question. "I love him too, Jason. We can trust him." He nodded and looked back to Alcide.

"If Sook says we can trust you, that's good enough for me. Take care of her. She's one in a million." I broke out of Alcide's arms and hugged my brother as Alcide answered him.

"That's my plan." Jason nodded and kissed my head.

"I'm happy for you, Sis." He smiled at me, but then looked confused. "But where the hell did Sam get the idea y'all split up?" I pulled away and went back to Alcide's welcoming arms.

"I have no idea. It doesn't make sense, but I intend to find out. I don't know about y'all, but I'm starving and don't feel much like cooking…" The grin on my face matched Jason's

"Great idea, Sook. I haven't eaten yet come to think of it."

Alcide joined in with a grin of his own. "We'll meet you there, Jason."

Jason had headed on over to Merlotte's but we had to make ourselves a bit more presentable. "Are you ok with this, Alcide?" He looked at me confused as he pulled his shirt over his head. "I mean I know you need to shift tonight…"

He cupped my face and silenced me with a kiss. "I'm fine baby. Last night was the big one. I'll go for a run after we get back from supper and be fine."

"Ok. Guess all this land will start being put to good use again." I giggled as he lifted me closer to his face.

"Definitely." He kissed me again and I wrapped my arms around his neck. Thankfully, both our stomachs interrupted – loudly. I'm not sure we'd have left otherwise.

Once we were in Alcide's truck, I asked. "I don't get how Sam figured we'd split. And what is he so sure you wouldn't tell me?"

He tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "That I'm a werewolf. That's what he's sure I won't tell you."

"How does Sam know you're a werewolf?"

Alcide took a deep breath. "I guess he didn't tell you. I was pretty sure he hadn't. Sam's a shifter. He can shift into any animal he wants."

My eyes bugged. "Shut the fuck up."

AN: I loved that line in True Blood when Sookie discovered Sam was a shifter. Just couldn't help using it here. I'm so sorry it has taken me so very long to update this story. My real life has been absolutely insane. Things are calming down now and I've actually been on a bit of a roll with the writing. I have already started Chapter 7 and hope to get on a better schedule with updating.

I want to thank everyone who has favorited, followed, reviewed, and/or pmed. I am so very grateful and you got me writing again. I have said it before… I'm not abandoning this story. I WILL finish it.

Please let me know what you think! I can tell you that after the next chapter things are going to start to get very interesting… (hint – vampires!)
